Hard Times For An Honest Man Lyrics

One man

Does his work

He's not satisfied

Not at all

Feels like

That he is being used

His self respect starts to fall

His frustration

Runnin' very very high

He takes it out

On the ones he loves

Because it's safe

And who they gonna tell

And he hates the cold-bloodedness

That runs inside

CHORUS

Oh yes

It's hard times

For an honest man

Very very very hard times

Hard times for an honest man

Very very very hard times

Sister

She's got a lot of pride

You can see it when she walks into the room

But she's young

And she's unaware

Of what a brutal world can do to you

So she loves a man

He lies like a dog

Tears her little world all apart

So the walls go up

For the rest of her days

And there ain't no man can touch this girl's heart

CHORUS

So we walk

>From the front porch to the back yard

Just to laugh and say hello and say goodbye

But some days are hard like a soldier's steel-tipped boots

And the rent we pay to stay here gets high

CHORUS
